With icing still a prevalent threat to air transport, a European-funded project has been exploring hybrid detection of ice build-up through a combination of new sensor technology and analysis of ...

On most aircraft ice-detection systems, the sensors can’t be located right on the aerofoil surfaces that most need to be kept ice-free – the addition of a protruding sensor would ruin their ...

Dubbed the first in-flight ice sensor made entirely of plastic, the Model 9732-UAV ice detecting transducer probe reportedly solves the problem of conductive metallic interference with ...

A fully automated on-wing icing detection system has moved a step closer with the completion of a testing and evaluation programme of the new technology developed by a consortium of European firms.

So your old ice sensor keeps icing over at the tower site and you don’t want to go out into the weather to clean it off … What to do? Replace it with an ice sensor that de-frosts itself, like the New ...
